three rigid rods with masses m1, m2, m3,
-
and it's nailed here,
-
and there is a skewer going through the board,
-
and the things can only rotate around that.
-
By the way, I should tell you the convention for ω.
-
In one dimensional motion,
-
velocity is positive, you're moving to the right,
-
and negative you're moving to the left.

With angular velocity,
